I would have loved to be his daughter: "She's a bit of a rebel herself, she's a chip off the old block. She was a very fast kid. Very fast.

His most famous project to date, the Chanel Tokyo building. The building is 56 meters tall, and has 10 floors, making it the biggest Chanel store in the world. The facade is covered by 700,000 embedded light-emitting diodes (LED), making it a huge tv screen. (source)

"Karl Lagerfeld and John Galliano came. John, as you know, dresses quite out there, and he came wearing a leopard vest and a leopard hat. Karl came all in black, a shirt with a very tall collar.

Peter has really gone a stretch." (from the Harper's Bazaar interview)
